    You can try with these two formulas. If it still can't work, please give us a sample with all the columns and some data.

     

    RatesWeWant = 
LOOKUPVALUE (
    'Exchange Rate'[c2g__Rate__c],
    'Exchange Rate'[Currency name], 'Timecard Split'[CurrencyIsoCode],
    'Exchange Rate'[OwnerCompany], "Y",
    'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c], LASTDATE (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c] ),
            'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c] < 'Timecard Split'[pse__End_Date__c]
        )
    )
)

     

    RatesWeWant = 
LOOKUPVALUE (
    'Exchange Rate'[c2g__Rate__c],
    'Exchange Rate'[Currency name], 'Timecard Split'[CurrencyIsoCode],
    'Exchange Rate'[OwnerCompany], 'Timecard Split'[OwnerCompany],
    'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c], LASTDATE (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c] ),
            'Exchange Rate'[c2g__StartDate__c] < 'Timecard Split'[pse__End_Date__c]
        )
    )
)

Hi v-haibl-msft,

 

Hopefully the additional criteria of Ownercompany ="Y" should provide us with a solution that returns a single value insted of multiple!

 

If there is someone that could help add in this extrapiece of criteria here that would be fantastic, I tried adding another Filter function but to no avail. 

 

If we are still in a pickle after this final iteration I'll be posting a sample of the data :)

 

Thanks

    v-haibl-msft,

     

    Not only has this worked but you've now also completely made me understand how this piece of DAX works! I've also deployed it in two other areas where i was having issues and its worked a charm.

     

    Can't be thankful enough Herbet!
